“Byron…”Wendy followed closely behind Estelle. When she saw the little one throwing a tantrum at Byron, guilt rose in her.However, she was secretly relieved to see that the little one had said nothing to Byron.Byron nodded at her and said, “Estie must have troubled you.”Wendy was flattered. “I’m happy to do that. Estie is a good girl.”As for her provoking Estelle in the car, Estelle mentioned nothing about it. Thus, Wendy would never bring it up.“Dinner is ready. Stay back and have dinner with us.”Byron took the initiative to invite Wendy.Wendy was overjoyed upon hearing this. “Sure.”The two entered the dining area one after the other.Mrs. Zora set the table.“I’ll go up and call Estie.” Wendy volunteered.However, she was still somewhat unsure.She had just made Estelle angry. She was unsure if the little one would listen to her.If Estelle threw a tantrum at her in front of Byron…When she was feeling uneasy, Byron’s voice sounded. “It’s alright. She might be
Estelle did not come out of her room even after Byron and Wendy had finished their meal.Wendy had finally gotten Byron’s agreement. Of course, she did not want Estelle to mess up her plan.After dinner, she volunteered and said, “I’ll go upstairs and see how Estie is doing.”Byron nodded, agreeing.Wendy headed upstairs nervously.Mrs. Zora was accompanying Estelle in her room. She watched Estelle eat her food slowly, mouthful by mouthful.Seeing Wendy walking in, Mrs. Zora greeted respectfully, “Miss Fuller.”Wendy nodded slightly in response. “Why don’t you go out first? I have something to say to Estie.”Mrs. Zora hesitated for a moment, but there was no reason to refuse. She could only leave.Only Wendy and Estelle were left in the room.The little girl puffed out her cheeks and put down her spoon angrily. Estelle turned around, and wrapped herself in the quilt. She held a doll in her arms and played with it intently. She had no intention of talking to Wendy.Wendy’s ex
Tears rolled in Estelle’s eyes. “I want to talk to Auntie, Lucian, and Nox.”Byron could not bear to see Estelle cry again. He tried to comfort her by touching her head. “I’ll let you speak to them some other day when I’m not busy.”“Really?” The little one demanded to know, clutching Byron by the sleeve.‘If Daddy called Auntie, wouldn’t it be possible for them to get back together?’Byron nodded calmly. “Mhm.”By the time he was done with his work, the little one would have already accepted Wendy.She would probably forget about calling them by then.Estelle had no idea what was going on in her daddy’s mind and thought her daddy would call Rosalie for her. A smile gradually appeared on her face.Afraid that the little one would mention Rosalie again, Byron lifted his hand to touch the little one’s head. “Well, go to bed early. I’m going to work.”The little one nodded and watched her daddy get up and leave....Meanwhile, Wendy drove back home joyfully.When she got into
Wendy was displeased to hear her mother mention Rosalie. “Why did you mention her?”Byron had already decided to meet her parents, which meant their engagement was near.She did not feel there was room for Byron to regret.Magdelene still felt uneasy.“At the very least, Rosalie is Estie’s birth mother. What if Byron regrets marrying you? If he goes back against his word, there’s nothing we can do about him.”Wendy’s heart sank.She had come this far with great difficulty and would not allow Byron to go back against his words again.Magdelene saw her daughter’s worries and spoke gently, “If you don’t want to let Byron regret it again, it’s necessary to find out what happened between them. If it’s because of a misunderstanding, we must make good use of it and prevent them from clearing up the misunderstanding!”Wendy’s gaze turned cold. “Got it!”Magdelene had a complicated feeling upon looking at her daughter in such a state. “Don’t blame me for stating the problem. We’ve wait
Kevin made a lot of money again and was in a good mood. He immediately said, “Of course. If you don’t trust my ability, you wouldn’t have come to me again, Miss Fuller. Tell me, what do you want me to investigate?”Wendy squinted her eyes. “Help me to find out what happened to Byron and Rosalie years ago.”Kevin chuckled meaningfully.Wendy asked coldly, “Why are you laughing?”Kevin quipped as though he did not seem aware of her anger, “Since you agreed to pay me so much decisively, I have to show you my appreciation one way or another.”Then, he took another phone from his bag beside him and scrolled through it.Shortly after, Wendy received several messages on her phone.“I believe these things won’t disappoint you, Miss Fuller,” Kevin sounded confident.Wendy’s brows furrowed, and she swiped to look at the photos Kevin sent her.It shocked her to see dozens of photos in the chat interface.Each photo in it had the date labeled on it.The photos were of Rosalie and Xander
Recalling she had to drive Estelle to kindergarten the next day, Wendy set an alarm for 6:00 am.Wendy felt frustration surging in her when the alarm went off the following day.Last night, Wendy barely slept because she had been thinking about Rosalie and Xander. She only slept after midnight and had only three to four hours of sleep.Wendy turned off the alarm clock and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.On second thought, she had to put on an act in front of Byron…After lying in bed for a while, Wendy got up despite her anger.She took a simple bath and headed downstairs.Downstairs, Magdalene was watering the flowers leisurely.She was surprised to see her daughter waking up early. “Why did you get up so early?”Wendy was still in a bad mood after waking up early and looked annoyed. "To send Estie to kindergarten."Magdalene nodded. “You should do it. It might be tough now, but it’s for the better future.”Wendy naturally knew it. Otherwise, she would not have gotten
Byron nodded and continued to accompany Estelle to eat breakfast.Estelle did not want to go to school, so she ate slowly.Wendy had made a surprise visit and said she would send her to school later. The little girl had lost her appetite.After eating a little more, the little one sadly put down her spoon.Byron did not think much about it. He thought Estelle was reluctant to go to school. He said softly, “You can go with Auntie Wendy if you’ve already finished your breakfast.”Estelle put on a sour face and looked at her daddy sadly.Before she could say anything, Wendy spoke.“Don’t worry, I’ve estimated the time. Estie can eat some more if she isn’t full.”Estelle looked at her with a frown.Wendy was afraid that the little one was unhappy and would tell Byron what had happened yesterday. Therefore, she did not dare to give Estelle a chance to speak.Seeing the little one looking at her, Wendy quickly said, “Have you eaten your breakfast, Estie? Let’s go if you’re done eat
Estelle looked at her daddy, who was at the door, and at Wendy, who was sitting on the sofa.After a while, she got off her chair sullenly and ran after Byron on her short legs.Wendy was relieved and followed quickly.“Daddy,” Estelle tugged onto Byron’s shirt and tried to coax her daddy.Byron looked at the little one and stroked her hair. “I’ve been very busy recently, so please be a good girl.”The little one pouted her lips in disbelief.Her daddy was not busy. He was in a bad mood because he and Auntie were not on good terms.She could see that, yet her daddy was lying to her.Adults were strange. Her daddy still refused to make up with Auntie after so long.Byron did not know what was happening in the little one’s mind. After speaking, he withdrew his gaze from her and turned to Wendy behind the little one.Wendy kept her attention on him and met his eyes with a smile almost as soon as he looked over.“What’s the matter?”Byron’s forehead creased, and he asked in his
